After the five people were seated, the elder from the Celestial Path Sect spoke again: "The auspicious time has come, please take your seats, Four Symbols!"
As he spoke, he pressed the backs of his hands against his palms and raised them high towards the night sky, where a light rain was still falling, then slowly lowered them, bowing deeply with the gesture, bending all the way to a ninety-degree position.
Gabrielle Winters was somewhat surprised, thinking that those four Grand Geomancers had already entered, why should they take seats again?
At this moment, the light rain in the sky seemed to pause for a moment, and even the faint sound of the wind seemed to have disappeared.
It felt like a night fog was rising, along with stretches of ethereal white smoke, drifting from an unknown place.
The scenery that had been clear just now started to become somewhat blurred, and the mahogany-colored octagonal pavilion shrouded in the light rain seemed even more hazy.
In a blanket of silence, there was first a peculiar bird call, followed by a low howl, then a deep hum, and finally a sigh that traveled from afar and faded away beside everyone’s ears.
Gabrielle Winters felt a bit dazed, thinking she had heard some extraordinary sounds.
But just at this moment, Nick Zeller’s voice rang out, loudly: "Master Ancestor, you’re here too?"
His voice was extremely bright, and his vocal range was very broad, as if it were a sharp weapon piercing through the fog, clearing away all ghosts and spirits with one stroke.
Gabrielle Winters shuddered all over, coming back to her senses, and immediately realized that her dazed state just now was not quite right.
She nudged the boss beside her, and whispered: "Did you hear anything just now?"
The boss, who was older and had worked hard early in his life, showed a face full of hardship.
He came around too, immediately understanding that someone had used some kind of trick that shouldn’t be seen.
But instead of exposing it, he vaguely said: "Maybe it’s the Four Symbols entering the venue."
Gabrielle Winters: "..."
"Can we watch them duel with magic? How do we judge winners and losers when we can’t see anything?" Gabrielle Winters glanced at the three people on the open-top jeep opposite them; their condition was visibly more normal than theirs.
The boss took out his phone, opened an APP, and said with great interest: "The Great Heavenly Master Nick launched an APP; today’s paid live streaming of the duel."
Gabrielle Winters couldn’t help but twitch her mouth.
She closed her eyes briefly, then whispered: "Do those people know?"
The boss nodded secretly, lowering his voice very much: "I have no idea how he persuaded those few to agree to install live cameras in the other four pavilions..."
This Great Heavenly Master Nick, you could say, is highly persuasive.
Though the boss was wealthier than most, when facing the Zimmerman Family from the provincial city and the Spencer Family, one of the nation’s wealthiest, he was utterly powerless.
So he had no choice but to set this up for Nick Zeller following their request.
But more than anyone present, he hoped Nick Zeller would win.
He placed his phone in the phone holder on the car.
Gabrielle Winters smiled slightly, no longer worried, she hugged her arms and leaned back in her seat, ready to watch the live stream.
Not long after, the "Celestial Path Sect’s No. 1 Heavenly Master Live Stream" APP started broadcasting.
A very cute animated girl in a little Taoist robe appeared, folding her hands in greeting, chanting auspicious words to those watching the stream, finally saying: "Dear viewers, the first live stream in human history of the Four Symbols Feng Shui Battle is about to begin! All you good folks, if you’re enjoying this, don’t forget to double-tap 666! Or send a celestial prime, Three Pure Ones, or something divine!"
The reward system in the Celestial Path Sect APP, Celestial Prime represents the highest amount of reward, just like sending rockets on other streaming sites.
Gabrielle Winters’ eyes suddenly widened: "!!!"
This is her Lawrence’s appearance from childhood!
At this moment, a special effect flashed across the phone screen, and many audience IDs watching the live stream began entering.
[A Deer Below Zhongnan Mountain]: Whoa! First time watching this Four Symbols Battle live stream, once-in-a-lifetime!
[I Love Grand Geomancy]: Ahhhh! Finally got in! The stream’s lagging hard! Great Heavenly Master, buy a better server~~~
[The Cutest Under the Celestial Path]: Sent a Celestial Prime.
[The Cutest Under the Celestial Path]: Sent a Celestial Prime.
Quickly, this [The Cutest Under the Celestial Path] initiated a reward frenzy with nine Celestial Primes.
And Nick Zeller’s APP had a particularly fun interaction feature, which would automatically return a talisman according to the amount of the reward.
Generally, audience members who offered rewards would receive a peace charm, to be carried in the phone.
Observers who d larger amounts could receive "Heavenly Peach Blossom Talisman," "Carrying Golden Carp Talisman," "Wealth and Luck Talisman," "Home Peace Talisman," "Exam Must Pass Talisman," "Promotion and Salary Increase Talisman," and "Good Things Happen One After Another Talisman."
